Meet the U3 Platform
The concept of a small platform that allows hardware manufacturers and software developers to encapsulate applications on a device that can sit comfortably on the end of your key ring is a significant and welcome advance in digital technology. These types of portable storage devices commonly known as flash drives will ultimately rule how portable technology develops. In addition the latest offerings are probably a prelude to the entry of even larger gigabyte storage devices designed within physically small plastic bodies soon appearing on the horizon.
The smart U3 platform is as its title suggests, is a clever piece of engineering designed to capture the imagination of those with a growing need to carry entire applications around in their pockets or handbags without it proving too cumbersome or awkward to do so. The applications stored on a U3 platform will be accessible on any computer and private to the individual. There is now no need to worry whether a computer has the right application for you to pass or read what you have written some place else on another PC. The application is on the U3 platform with the data you were working on and once you have connected it to another PC it is very simple to access. When finished nothing will be stored on the PC that you are using unless you want it to be, which includes no trace of the application that you were using.
In addition to the above the U3 platform can provide bookmark applications for most browser types including IE, Firefox and Opera. With bookmarks stored on the U3 platform in an encrypted format there is no fear that any trace of your presence will remain on any host computer. The ability to automatically synchronize your bookmarks between different computers is a particularly useful tool for anyone who needs to work on more than a single computer. For example where someone might use an office computer during the day and complete the task on their home computer later, the ability to synchronize both computers through the portability offered by the U3 platform suddenly makes it a 'must have' piece of kit.
Bookmark applications are installed directly onto the flash drive and because the software was designed with portability in mind it can easily be transferred between PCs. In addition a user friendly, easy editing capability relating to bookmark management is offered through facilities to change titles, URLs and descriptions. Currently bookmark managers do not possess an archiving capability but the speed with which progress is being made with U3 platforms the wait until this begins to happen is unlikely to be long.
The U3 platform has been designed to be highly user friendly. Install it on a Windows XP or 2000 computer and the U3 launch pad mirrors the appearance of the Start Menu allowing access to all stored applications and documents. No one is ever going to feel disorientated by the appearance of the U3 platform screen. Gaining access to the U3 platform is also easy as a U3 icon located in the system tray. On one side of the launchpad are listed the stored applications together with a Download Program that links to the U3 software catalogue. Mozilla Firefox and Open Office are examples of applications able to be stored aboard the U3 platform, however some brand name applications are not yet able to be used in this way, although work is obviously going on at a pace to ensure that this limitation does not last very much longer.
The U3 platform is offered in a range of different sizes between 1 and 4 Gigabytes. While costs for these extremely useful devices range between $75 to $185. Although the 4 gigabyte device is a little expensive the thought of walking around with 4 gigabytes of data on the end of your keyring eventually wears down any hesitation over a purchase if it were your only reason for not buying one.
In addition security conscious buyers will be pleased by the opportunity to ensure restricted access thanks to the U3 platform's diminutive size, only you will know what it is and where it is,makes it an excellent candidate for those individuals who view privacy as a significant factor in their digital library. Also a password facility is available to enhance security even further. If you hate passwords because you can never recall them there is also a password hint facility. However the password facility is only available to Windows XP and 2000 users.
